Hi,
I have created a template for a team of developers to use. I took advantage
of the protection feature and set it to allow only the styles I had defined.
However, now the developers cannot use most of the buttons on the Drawing
toolbar, like the crop feature, borders, and fill color. I did not do
anything to make these inaccessible. Why are they not appearing? I need to be
able to keep those as well as the styles but do not see in the "Protect
Document" area how I can do this.
How can I get them back while still protecting the document from style
changes?
Thanks!
Tara

You can't. Protecting the document for forms inhibits many of the functions
of Word. The aim is to fill the form without disturbing the rest. Having
unprotected sections allows some extra functions, but by no means all. The
only solutions are not to use this type of protection or to create the
functions you require in vba temporarily unlocking the form in the code. An
exampole of this is shown at
